It doesn't boost stats, it makes them gain EVs quicker. All pokemon have the same EV max.

Which is a good thing if you know what you're doing, but very bad if you don't.

Here's a tip, if you get Pokerus and want to spread it, batlte with that Pokemon a lot and wait until your whole team has it. Then spread it to a Pokemon you don't normally use and deposit that Pokemon in your PC. Pokerus will stay with it as long as its in the PC. This is useful incase your pokemon all lose Pokers (will have a little smiley face thing under their picture when you hit summary) and you want to spread it to other Pokemon that never had it.

Yeah and it you trade a pokemon with pokerus to fr/lg, since those games don't have time pokerus stays on your pokemon forever and wont go away, unless you trade it to game that has time and don't leave it in pc box.

for being so rare, its pretty odd that I've gotten it five times o.O

My Sceptile contracted Pokerus very early on in my Ruby game,within the first week I believe (I am fairly certain he caught it from a Zangoose). I don't really care a lot about EVs and natures;typically I just use what I get without worrying about their stats.To me it is more fun to just play the game,not to turn it into yet another formulaic RPG that will bore me to tears. My usual system for catching a Pokemon to train is like this; I see a Pokemon species I like,I start hunting it,I catch several and keep whichever put up the best fight (e.g. how many times it broke out of the Pokeball,in particular if it should have been easily caught under the circumstances). However,I will breed to obtain certain moves if I need to. Well that's the end of my ranting for today. Thanks for sticking with me.

my friend has TWO shiny pokemon, and I told him, "if you get pokerus, I'll kill you!!!" If he does get it, I'll force him to give it to my pokemon.

An easy way to get Pokerus is by getting ranger and doing the manaphy mission and when u get manaphy trade it to Diamond/Pearl the manaphy should have Pokerus... or at least mine did and so did my friends
